There's filly I'm looking at who is 2500 miles from me. I was really hoping that shipping would be less then what you are saying it is... I haven't gotten replies from any of the places I've requested quotes from, now you're starting to scare me.

Sorry to hear you're having such trouble! Hope you can work something out!

That's probably a bit much. Expect to pay anywhere from $0.25 to $0.65 per loaded mile. It depends on from where to where (like over the mountains will cost you more) and if the horse will go for several days with full loads to pick up/drop off along the way. Sometimes, the most expensive isn't the best either.

Try listing your load on US Ship.com. I was able to have a horse hauled 1200 miles for $700 and that was when diesel was just as high as it is now. If you don't have an absolute "must have this horse moved by" date, you will probably find a cheaper shipping price by shopping around.

$0.25 per loaded mile?? That's insane! I don't see you ever getting that low of a cost. $700 for 1200 miles was even extremely cheap. Normal going rate is about $1 per loaded mile. Good luck to the OP on being able to get the horse!!Posted via Mobile Device
